Tom Garfield is a life-long community artist/activist supporting the work of urban schools, community agencies, and cultural organizations. Inspired by a literal mosaic of progressive influences, his heart lies in world change, not in meshing with any current cultural fashion. His latest single "Greed" is a scathing indigtment on the status quo, showcasing him as a rare truthteller speaking against monolithic obstacles.
"Greed" is a 4-track EP in the spirit of classic artists like Bob Dylan, who has no issue with calling out authority at any turn. The music is folk rock-based, with a whispery rasp of bold and brave ringing out over raw, deep life experience and musicality. Garfield is, without a doubt, an everyman who stands for the voiceless - the lyricism is boundless, uncensored and motivational at it's core.
"From Woody Guthrie to Bad Bunny and all in between, I've always been inspired by artists who use their platform to promote a more just, peaceful and equitable world. As Bertolt Brecht put it, 'Art is not a mirror held up to reality, but a hammer with which to shape it.'"
Tom's work is visceral and based on the core power of human obsevation, philosophical awareness and compassion. "Greed" is available now.
Stream and purchase exclusively on Bandcamp.
